Tho ‘wilnoss was stono-quarrying, but was doing noth- ing just now, having boen working on Kankakeo sandstone, Iis renson for stirriug up the thing ‘was because ho was advised to, 1e had never had any strifo till Inst_upring, whon BIr.

Tho Spocial Committeo of Boven, appointed by the Comtnon Council to invostigato com- plaints affecting the ofiicial integrity of the Gonoral Buperintendent of Polico in bis doalings with & Milwaukeo dry goods morchant namod Wheoler, who had some valuable property stolen from Lia storo by Chicago thieves a short timo sinco, met in tho oftico of thoe City Clork geater- day forenoon. The chair was occupied by Ald. Leungacher, and thero wore also prosent Ald. Bherwood, Cullorton, McGenniss, Schmitz, and Cannon, Tho intorost- ed spectators wore Mr. Wheelor, and Buperintondent of Polica Bock, of il waukes, who had beon summoned to attend by the Chairman of the Committeo, Commissioner Shoeridan, Capt. Hickoy, Suporintondent Wauh- Durn, and Ald. Schaftner. . Aftor tho Committeo had boon called to ordor, Ald. Bchaffuer arose and explainod his position, with the pormission of tho Cbair. As ho had been instrumental in lLaving the Commitico ap- pointed, ho wanted to sny that ho cutertalned o foolings of nuimosity sgainst the Chiof of Polico. His object in offering the rosolution in the Council calling for the appointment of tho Committoo was to show the public that tha charges made ngainst Suporintondont Washburn and the Chicago polico forco in tho Milwaukeo papors were without foundation, Statoments affecting tho_integrity of tho Suporintendent iind been made to him persouslly, but he did not beliovo them, and was anxious thoy sheuld bo thoroughly iuvestigated. The Chair courtcously allowed Ald. Schaftnor to make soveral personnl oxplanations during the meating, but ho might as woll bo dropped now ns ol any othor timo. 1lis romaks, as n whola, amouiited to nolbing, and tho substance-of them is given abova. Ald. Shorwood oxpressed & dosiro to know how {ho Committeo was going to procoed with the in- vustigation,—whothor formal chargon wore to bo presonted agninst tho Suporintendent, o rwhothor the complainta and hearsays wors to bo looked into in n formal manner. 1fo snid ho hadn't the most romoto iden a8 to tho naturo of the Super- intondent’s alleged offonso, or as to tho naturo of the duties wiuch the Committee was oxpocted to perform. Lwo or three members of the Commitleo, nided and abetted by Ald. Schnffner, nttomptod to enlighton hita, bat Lowever thoroughly thoy wndorstood e’ question themsalyes, they Kig- nally failed to put their thoughts in understand- ablo shape, and the result was a muddlo al the very commoncement. Tt was finnlly decidod that tho 1vestigation should be conducted in u convorsational gort of way, questions to bo allowed without regard to order or connection ; and for this reeson a do- tailed ruport of tho proceedings cammot wall ho given, They did not smount to much snyhow, aud are worth only o smnmsry, JMr. Wheoler, on being aslod for his state- ment, arose from his seat, und, drawing o quar- ter section of a Milwaukeo papor from his pock- ot, bogan to read. Tho ducunient turned out to bo a the printed copy of an afidavit which he made in Milwauliee in order to sot himself right with his townsmon. A large portion of it was takon up with a history of the robbery, how it accurred, how it was discovered, ond how th thioves were followed to Chicago. , r, Wheolor had scarcoly bogun to read when an Aldorman suggested that it would be woll to hear Suporintoudont Washburn's statomont firat. Thas gontleman pointed to his recent commu- nication to tho DBonrd of DPolico, which Iny on tho table, and said it containod nbout all Lo had to say on tho subject. It was rond, togethor with accompanying aflida- vits and tetters, and then tho Milwaukeo man was allowed to procood. The Fist of Mr, Wheeler's statoment wau that ho could not get bis goods when lio called for thom, that Supt. Washburn asked him for $200 with which to-rownrd the policomen who cap- tured the thioves whon they left the train near thocit{ limits, and tbnt Supt., Washburn had treatod him in an ungontlemanly manner when ho refured to furnish the monoy for the reward, He stated that Lo was willing to give the men’ Bomething without being nsked, and that the ro- quest for monoy beforo tho delivery of the goods to him mado him feol at the timo as if Mr. Washburn hed decided’ to make the return of the proerty conditional upon the payment of 200, \What galled him most, Lowover, was tho unruly troatment which lo recoived at the hands of "My, Washburn during ouvoe interviow, and the trouble to which ho hind been put beforo ho could regain possession of that which right- fully bolonged to him, Peronally, he Liad noth- ing ngainst tho Buperintondent, but he belisved that ho hiad no authority to keop his property ng loug as he did, and had no right whatever to aslk Lhim for & roward for the oficors, Buporintendout Bock was the next to male a statoment, Ilo relatod tho substanco of n con- yereation botweon himself and Superintendent ‘Wasbiburn, during which the question of n roward for tho mon who eaptured the thioves was broached, Mr, Waskburn, know- ing thet Lo wag one of the oldest and most oxporiencod Chiofs in _thoSfcountry, asked him if ho bolieyed in the policy of rmmlfi’- ing mon for unusual tact or couraze, .He re- plied that ho did. Mr, Washburn then remarked tbat the men who arrosted tho Milwaulioce thieves ought to have $100 ench, Ho colnoided, gnying it was not too much to give them, sn promising to contribute liborally himself.” Mr, Washbura wouldn't heur of that, beeause Beck and ho carnad thoir mouoy.tou bard to give any of it away. Doch then askoed him if he intonded to talk to Wheolor about the roward, and h plied that ho did, as Whoelor's proporty was at sioko, Heok told him what sort of n man Wheelor was, and ho doubted if ho would mako nnythiu%ul of hini. Bubsequently ho went to moet Whoelor at the dopot, ~and, while guing to tho contre of the cily with him, in o carriago, told of tho convergation ho bad with Washburn sbout the roward, Wheoler said he didn't like o bo usked for any-thing In that way. . Tu answer to a question, Buporintendent Bocl said tho quostion of roward should be loft en- tirely to thoso whose property hnd hcen recov- ored, 'That was the oustom in every clty. Buperiutondont Washburn then mude” o state- ment, in addition to the writton one which had beon proviously read. lio thought ho conld show the Committoo that he had done nothing ltegnl. o did not rotain the goods for tho purposo of qnlung tho roward,—nothing was urthor from his mind, The renson that ho did uot deliver up thoe goods when Mr, Whoelor and B, Beck firsc called for thom wus, that ho had no right to do o withoi due process of law, Otherwiso ho would lay limeelf opeu to prosecution. Thon ho wai sorvad with o garnisheo by aman who claimed to bo n oroditor of onoof the thioves, and that delayod matters again, 1o told the Police Com- missionors and othors that ho was going to ank for tho roward, and dld not_considor it n tho light of an improper nct. Io was willing to apologlze to Mr. Wheoler if he had treated him rudoly, stnted that Bu- 9 Yo~ Commissionor Bheridan orintondont Waslihurn told bim that lo fn- onded to ask Wheelor for a roward, eid that ho advised him to be caroful, as tho rules of tho 1d, Bhorwood offered the following, for tho purposo of seouring an exprorsion of ~opinion : Repolred, That tho Commitico do ot find that Nr, ‘Wanshburn, in hin relatfons with the stolen goodn of 3Mr. Whoolor, of Milwaukeo, did_nnything in violation of law, or which fn any way roflects upon his officlal integrlty oa Buporintendont of Yolico, The motlon waa stromtously osmoucd by the rost of the Committoo, nnd aftern oniz and uso- low_argument, on ndjournmont uniil Baturday at 8 p. m., was agrood wpon. Iho probobility is that the Committoo will ad- ministor a mild robuko to tho Suporintondent by rofusing to countonanco the practice of asking for, or oven aug'i;nutlng, a reward, and dolaying- tho roturn boyond o rensonable timo, S1.
